Fabric flowers

Remember this cute shirt?

Here's how I made the flowers.

These are strips of old shirts.

wrapped the pink strip around and around to create the rose. I glued little spots as I went around to hold the fabric together.

On the back I added a small circle piece of jean (again jeans that had holes) to hold the flower together better.

Here is my design to add to the shirt. I sewed the green strips to the shirt and then sewed on the flowers. My girls love there new shirt (thank goodness they share clothes and I didn't have to make two)

changes will happen

This is a pile of old shirts.

For a while I have been collecting old shirts that have no more use. Spots, holes, stains you name it they have at least one if not more of those things. Well I decided to use them as material.

Here is one of my projects...Stained area on shirt


I used an old green shirt and light pink shirt so come up with this.

Old pants to new shorts

I am so tired of holes in jeans....fixing them with a regular sewing machine only holds for a while so why not change them to shorts but with a little flair.

Can't wait for summer to see my sweet little girl wearing them.

Repurpose t-shirt for 4th of July

Fun and easy!this is an old shirt that has stains and I was just going to throw it out and thought why not cover up the stains and change it up a little.I started with these....Paint tip: I keep my paints in a photo box and can only see the top so I dabbed a little of the paint from the bottle on the top so I can always see what color it is.

finished product!

Did a little change to the sleeves....laid them flat made a cut 1/2 inch up into the sleeve
cut again but this time parallel with the bottom of the sleeve 1 1/2 inchestook the cut strips and tied them into a square knot

Cute little changes to an old t-shirt

Summer Cover Up

If you're like me when it comes to going to a water activity in your swimsuit but hate to walking around in just my swim suit or wrapped in a towel then this is for you.....SO EASY! It took me longer time picking out the fabric then sewing it together. Have you seen this fabric before?? All I had to do is match the edges and sew a straight stitch. Oh yes, that's all. The nice bonus is that the edge is finished for you. It comes in many different choices plus they have some for your girls too! Finished product made less than 3 minutes...seriously! I haven't decided if I want to add some type of straps, that my come this summer after I figure if I like it without them or not.

Easy girls Tu-Tu Skirt - tutorial

Great for little girls birthday gift 3/4 inch elastic, measured waist of child, sew together. I sewed a little square.
Picked out cute ribbon to give the tu-tu a little more.Picked matching colors and cut the tulle into strips large 8 X (36 inches long) and small 8 x (24 inches long) Fold the tulle in half

Place the elastic on top of the folded tulle

Pull the edges of the tulle thru the loop on the tulle (notice the tulle on the top of my hand)

Pull tight to make a knot around the elasticrepeat. I made a pattern light pink, white, dark pink and added ribbon when I wanted more color (Same way I added the tulle. It was done at the same time) So FUN!

The little girl who got this skirt LOVED IT and wears it all the time.

Some trimming may need to be done based on the actual height of the little girl who gets the skirt, but she will surely love it!
